I find it interesting that there's loads of people who made a core part of their identity campaigning against trans women being in women's spaces and how it impacts women, who have gone completely silent about Grok being used to undress and brutalise w...

The UK government says the move by X to limit Grok to paid users is “insulting” and basically monetising abuse, and they would support a ban of X in the UK if recommended by the regulator. They’ve asked the regulator for recommendations in days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c99kn52nx9do
@GossiTheDog isn’t that „limited to paid users“ even fake news based on something Grok hallucinated to a journalist?

@davey_cakes Elon threatened to replace the PM and overthrow the UK government, he’s monitored by GCHQ as a result as a threat to national security. I think the latest stunt may be the final straw.
@GossiTheDog @davey_cakes Did Kier Starmer finally get a backbone transplant? If so, bravo to the NHS!

@GossiTheDog expect JD Vance to excoriate the UK as an authoritarian censorship rogue state that needs to be liberated... (unless he's already done it)

@GossiTheDog here's the thing, it's taking these regulators a very long time to get around to figuring this obvious problem out.
At the same time these same countries can wipe an internet site off the internet in their jurisdiction in the click of a finger (or a very poorly written police order if you're France) and zero public debate.
If it wasn't some american billionaires mechahitler project would it even be discussed or just gone ?

@kc @GossiTheDog the problem is the country that these Internet giants have set up their EU base in, Ireland. If Ireland loses the tax euros from these tech golden geese then the party stops and the powers that don't regulate will lose their seats. It all boils down to this.

@humanhorseshoes @GossiTheDog also very true, Ireland's DPO is famously one of the most lax in Europe for I'm sure what are very unrelated reasons.
I thought though that Dark Maga shutdown any connection to Ireland (and fired everyone illegally), so one would hope they're still a bit twisted about that enough to not mind this particular one if there is still the husk of the bird on it's shores

@kc @GossiTheDog Ireland's DPO are absolutely useless and deliberately so. I have managed to piss them off a number of times though. I learned GDPR and by extension FOI law against my will

@humanhorseshoes @GossiTheDog they're probably taking advice from France.
I'm currently in a battle of wills with la CNIL that involves replying yes every two years to the question of "hey we did nothing, anyways did you want us to actually investigate this thing?"

@kc @GossiTheDog Once you have them on a legal point and keep within timelines you can do this forever. I use the GDPR, FOI, DSR, FOI appeal triple sandwich to extract what they don't want to release

@kc @GossiTheDog Oh I am dealing with the Irish government doing that with 5.7 million social security records and getting blanked. They won't even tell me who the data controller is, it is just "the department"

@humanhorseshoes @GossiTheDog I have much better, the eternal loop of the French bureaucratic system. If it's still in the queue, it will be done, and when the last person gets angry seeing my name for the 800th time, they'll drop in on the company like a tonne of bricks along with employment inspectors and the tax office.
When they become motivated, they all come to that party to make sure somebody gets some coin out of it

@humanhorseshoes @GossiTheDog well that's not great. Wouldn't the responsible person be the minister in charge of the social security, could you annoy them enough to do something ?

@GossiTheDog Ugh Grok is so gross, I had a Senior Manager at my current job who is in charge of our AI tell me GROK was A-OK to use within our company even though everything about it and X goes against our companies policies.
I now assume is just another incel tech bro who only cares about himself and hates others because he is a small minded man.
I plan to report him to HR when I get back to the office on Monday.

@GossiTheDog why, if “all party leaders commented” did the BBC only quote the Prime Minister (fair enough) and Farage, rather than, say, the Conservative Party leader? Or anyone else?
Is the BBC biased to giving more exposure to Reform than it deserves? From here, it kinda looks like it. Why? Who is pushing the BBC to do this?
